I have fond memories of a sweet cousin who put up, barely, with her brother and me as we played at our grandparents farm--I regret missing the ceremonies but am confident from all I learn about Patty's life that she rests in God's love. David O'Brien, Worcester, Mass.

To the Noel Family,
My deepest condolences go out to all of you. May you find comfort in knowing that "Trish" fought the hard fight and has now officially become an "Angel in God's House". I'm sure she will continue to watch over all of her family.
It has been MANY years since I've seen "Trish"...50 to be exact! I always admired and respected her during our high school years at St. Joe's in Pittsfield, MA.
Please know that I will be keeping her (as well as all of you) in my thoughts and prayers.

Iam very sad to lose a friend and a leader like Trish. She was always concerned about the well being of everyone.
Her family was her treasure and her community was hers to make better. She did an excellent job with both.
We will miss her greatly.

Dear Noel Family:
I Had the pleasure of meeting Trish a few years ago in a place neither of us wanted to be..The oncologists office...Trish was always a pleasure to be around.Her upbeat attitude and pleasant conversations were what made a tough situation bearable. I looked forward to our visits even though I knew she wasn't always feeling wel. We'd chat about many topics, our health issues and concerns, her grandchildrenand children,whom she adored more than anythig, her frustration over being too tired to work in her garden, her love of cooking..the list is endless. I will always hold my memories of those times in my heart. A few years have passed since those days when we met,but I would think of her often as I will continue to do. She was a truly special person and I will cherish the fond memories of our times together. Take comfort in knowing that she will be missed by many.
